Bastian Kanbach has completed his vocational training to become a stringed-instrument maker from 2003 to 2006 at the BFS for instrument making in Klingenthal (Saxony). After his training he worked for 2 years in Siggi Braun's shop in Göttingen where he was involved in the complete production, and mostly in charge of producing custom instruments of which he completed more than 100 pieces during his time at Siggi Braun. In 2008, Bastian returned to his hometown of Kaiserslautern and began to build guitars under his own name at first.

Soon after, he met Oliver Reich, a passionate craftsman, independently working in wood production for over 10 years.

Since both of them were/are still active musicians (Olli playing bass guitar and Bastian guitar) soon the idea was born to "join forces" and to create Zeal Guitars together.

Thus, they could put their manual and technical skill as well as the knowledge of the matter wood to use and make Zeal Guitars what it is today.

Bastian Kanbach a complété sa formation professionnelle pour devenir luthier entre 2003-2006 à la BFS dans la fabrication d'instruments à Klingenthal (Saxe).

Après sa formation, il travaille pendant deux ans dans l'atelier de Siggi Braun à Göttingen où il est impliqué dans l'ensemble du processus de production, et le plus souvent en charge de produire des instruments sur mesure dont il a pu réaliser plus de 100 modèles pendant son séjour chez Siggi Braun. En 2008, Bastian retourne dans sa ville natale de Kaiserslautern et commence, pour la première fois,à construire des guitares sous son propre nom.

Peu de temps après, il rencontre Oliver Reich, un artisan passionné, travaillant seul depuis plus de 10 ans dans l'industrie du bois.

Tous les deux étaient et sont encore des musiciens actifs (Olli jest bassiste et Bastian, guitariste). Très vite, l'idée est née d'unir leurs forces et de créer, ensemble, Zeal Guitars.

Ainsi, ils ont pu mettre leur habileté manuelle et technique ainsi que la connaissance du bois au service de Zeal Guitars et faire de la marque ce qu'elle est aujourd'hui.

Zeal Guitars - Cupido
